Deval Patrick shows MA taxpayers which jobs truly matter.

In the face of climbing unemployment the original hope and change, governor Deval Patrick appointed his friend to a position that has been vacant for YEARS. In the Boston Herald story, Marian Walsh was selected to be director of the state’s Health and Educational Facilities Authority and guess how many years that post has been unfilled? Three? Six? Try, twelve bloody years. Salary? $175,000!

Meanwhile we are facing down the barrel of the tax cannon, a potential increase on gas that would propel Massachusetts to the top of the heap in gas taxes making us number one. At least we are at the best at something – the reaming of taxpayers. This is on top of the already existing proposed taxes on alcohol, sodas, candy, car taxes (RMV fees) and probably a litany of other small revenue boosters that I am not aware of.

As the article points out correctly, Patrick has the audacity to get up in front of us and ask for sacrifices? I don’t understand what planet these people live on. Hypocrisy does not begin to accurately describe what these politicians are doing, only words like stupidity, idiocy, lunacy, thievery and mental relapse come close.

I probably should not be that upset given that 70% of my fellow taxpayers willingly voted to continue handing over their income tax to this mob of raving lunatics. Not to harp on the matter any longer, but the irony is still ringing in my years, after all, we were warned that voting to repeal the income tax would result in higher taxes. I bet the detractors would claim it would have been worse, but really? Would it really have been worse? Can you see them filling a 12 year vacant spot with that kind of salary if they were forced to make drastic cuts. Corruption will always be a part of the political arena, but if we continue giving them means to feed the corruption then we are doing ourselves a gigantic disservice.

What Devolved Patrick just did is inexcusable and unjustifiable. If I were a governor of this state, my focus would be on eliminating jobs in government given that unemployment shot up to 8%, NOT creating new jobs.

Taxachusetts, here we come (in our carpool)

A throwback to the 1970s, our own original hope-n-change governor has proposed his most daring tax hike yet. A 19 cent gas tax increase to pay for the struggling Mass. Transit/MBTA department which will be on top of the proposed candy, soda, alcohol tax increases. SUVs will also be subjected to higher fees and a crackdown to ensure that MA residents avoid breaking the law and buying goods in tax free New Hampshire.

How is that liberals still have not learned, that taxing people when they are hurting from a recession, depleted 401Ks, plummeting house values and rising unemployment is the surest way to exacerbate the situation? They did it under FDR, they did it in the 1970s, they did it in Japan and now they are doing it again? Even Bill Clinton had the bloody sense to implement the highest middle class tax increase during a recovery! (granted the democrats got the boot shortly after, but the difference is worth mentioning).

So not only has Deval and his cronies scared MA residents stiff into not voting for Question 1 (elimination of the state income tax) they are now levying taxes left and right. If this gas tax goes through and I am sure it will, our state will have the highest gas taxes in the nation. Of course to the original hope-n-change, this amounts to less than a cup of coffee per week. What a self righteous prick, easy for him to say when he is pimping around on a brand new Cadillac all expenses paid. Worse yet, the fees on the SUVs and other big cars is precisely what the American car companies do NOT need right now, apparently it is the only vehicle they can actually sell. I am personally stunned at this level of audacity and we are well on our way to Taxachusetts, assuming we have enough money to get there.

"Vice" tightened for Massachusetts residents.

One would never guess that America is experiencing one of the worst recessions in history. Considering the legislation being passed on the federal level and proposals being made on the state level, one would think that Americans are enjoying tremendous excesses and the government simply wants to partake.

Yesterday, Obama signed into law the SCHIP modifications that would expand coverage to more children. The pitfalls of this legislation are too numerous to list, but the burden on the taxpayer is growing. Under the new modifications applicants will no longer have to provide social security numbers when filing for aid, thereby allowing illegals to freely and openly claim taxpayer funded health insurance. To finance this brilliant piece of work federal taxes on tobacco are going up by .62 cents. Massachusetts residents already make the trip to New Hampshire to buy tobacco, but for those not wanting to make the drive SCHIP will provide the necessary incentives. In short, a group of Americans will be asked to finance the health insurance of illegal immigrants and “children” up to 19 years old. Starting to miss Bush a bit? (He vetoed this twice)

Meanwhile, Deval Patrick is proposing ideas to battle our own state deficits and he is killing two conservative birds with one large liberal stone. Not only will he raises taxes to fund deficit gaps, but also health and wellness programs like tobacco control and violence prevention. He will accomplish this by raising taxes on alcohol, candy and soda – evil elements that damage your health. Recessions are a wonderful time for you to start thinking about your health and if you fail to do so, then the government will make the decision for you. As one very enthusiastic Democrat states:

“This is great. Are you kidding me? I really like, from a policy standpoint, taxing things for health reasons so we have more money for health care,” said Rep. Cory Atkins, D-Concord.

Of course you do Comrade Atkins, the party thanks you for your commitment.

There you have it folks, in a matter of time, every citizen currently engaged in harming his or her own body with grotesque showcasing of greed and opulence will be forced to finance the continued expansion of both local and federal government. For those of you not familiar with standard operating procedures, taxes are like tight Boston alleys – one way streets, in this case UP.

As someone hailing from the former Soviet Union and familiar with how things work, I have two parting words for you. Black market. Your vice will thank you for it.

Question 1 Massachusetts, Yes or No?

This is probably one of the most important questions in Massachusetts (MA) and something I have been thinking about for a long time. If we do not make the right decision here, it can only return in six years.

We are now bombarded by anti-question1 ads and I noticed that everywhere I drove, I saw banners supporting NO on question1…but I also noticed that they were always standing next to a pro-Obama sign.

Curious, is it not? So I started doing some research and I have concluded that every ad is a lie. Blatant lie. They even made a website with more lies. It has become rather apparent that everyone should vote YES on question 1 in order to send a message that enough is enough.

My video is below, but here are important links that will enable you to do your own research.
